On December 8, 2023, Bradford Health detected unusual activity within its network. Upon discovering this activity, it immediately initiated an investigation of the matter with the assistance of third-party cybersecurity specialists. The investigation determined that certain files stored on the network may have been accessed and acquired without authorization. After a thorough review of those files, which concluded on May 15, 2025, Bradford Health determined that certain individuals’ personal and/or protected health information may have been affected. 

While Bradford Health has no evidence that the information potentially involved in this incident has been misused, out of an abundance of caution, Bradford Health is informing affected individuals about the steps they can take to help protect their information.  

The potentially affected information may include individuals’ names, driver’s license numbers, dates of birth, medical information (including diagnosis and treatment information, physician names, and Medical Record numbers), health insurance information, financial account numbers, passport numbers, payment card numbers plus a means of access to the account, and/or Social Security numbers. On May 30, 2025, Bradford Health provided written notification of the incident via US mail to impacted individuals. 

Bradford Health has implemented additional measures to enhance network security and minimize the risk of a similar incident occurring in the future. Bradford Health also reported the incident to the law enforcement.
